Gags in the strips commonly deal with Garfield's obesity ( in one strip, Jon jokes, " I wouldn't say Garfield is fat, but the last time he got on a Ferris wheel, the two guys on top starved to death "), and his hatred of any form of exertion or work.

In addition to being portrayed as lazy and fat, Garfield is also pessimistic, sadistic, cynical, sarcastic, sardonic and a bit obnoxious.

However, it is mentioned in more than one strip that Jon cannot understand Garfield.

Many gags focus on this ; his inability to get a date is usually attributed to his lack of social skills, his poor taste in clothes ( Garfield remarked in one strip after seeing his closet that " two hundred moths committed suicide "; in another, the " geek police " ordered Jon to " throw out his tie "), and his eccentric interests which range from stamp collecting to measuring the growth of his toenails to watching movies with " polka ninjas ".

Odie is a yellow, long-eared beagle with a large, slobbering tongue, who walks on all four legs, though occasionally he will walk on two like Garfield.

On some occasions, however, he is depicted more intelligently, as one strip, in which he holds a heavy rock to prevent Garfield from doing this, and actually hurts Garfield's foot.
